Pedal for Scotland

[Bruno28]

I've just signed up for this fifty mile charity cycle ride - Pedal for Scotland. Not until Sept this year so the training shouldn't be too onerous.

I haven't bumped into any other Scots on this forum. Are there any lurkers out there?

I've spotted them - but they are ENGLISH!!!!!


That's like calling a Canadian an American!


It's a bit of a trek (no pun intended) to expect those gals to travel to Glasgow for a 50 mile ride - althought we'd be happy to have them. UK eliphant and tattie fritter let me know if you are interested. Tattiefritter - when I first saw your name I thought you might be Scottish.

I obviously need to post more info about Scotland or you are not paying attention Trek

Did you know it was Burns night tonight? It's traditional to have a meal of haggis, neeps and tatties tonight. Oh and some whiskey

I don't know anything about Scottish food and have never been to Scotland (hope to get there and cycle someday as it looks gorgeous!!) My step-sister did an exchange program in college one semester in Glasgow. She wasn't fond of the food and lost 15 lbs.

My father's name was Robert Burns, and he told me that when he visited Scotland in the late '50s, he was treated like royalty. I thought that was really cool!

We also have McIvers in our family (my great-grandmother's name....)

Emily, whose maiden name is, what else, Burns...

Hi Emily - we only recognise two of the main food groups over here: fat and carbohydrate. I'm surprised your step-sister lost weight!

I live near Glasgow - 25 miles away.

You sound as if you have Scottish ancestors. Come over - you would love it.

There is also "tablet".

She didn't eat the entire time she was there, or something like that...

I'd love to! Yes, I guess with Burns on my paternal side and McIver on my maternal side, I definitely have some Scottish blood running through these veins. Visiting Scotland is definitely on my list of things to do before I die. Maybe I should bring my own food???

OMG, I would never do that. How insulting

It's more like my customer today who asked "I have the calling plan with unlimited calls in the United States. Does that cover Alaska and Canada?"

"Sir, uhm, yes....and no"

Bruno sorry for the unintended goof. But still they are not that far away, right? Relatively easy to get from here to there. It's not like they are in Seattle or some far away place
